WESH 2 broke the story last year when 58-year-old Luis Morales, who ran a ministry out of his Ormond Beach home, was arrested. Investigators accused him of transporting six underage girls across state lines for sex.

Arm in arm the victims walked out of the federal courthouse. One was just 12 when Morales told her the way to become a prophet was to perform sex acts on him. Others were molested on out-of-town trips.

Morales called himself "Apostle Tito" on a website he used for outreach called "En Fuego for Jesus," which means on fire for Jesus.

Morales' wife, known as Prophet Linda, lashed out at a previous court hearing. On Tuesday, she begged the judge to imprison her rather than her husband.

Federal Judge Roy Dalton rejected the claims of innocence branding Morales a pseudo apostle who had perverted the principles of faith and told him nothing other than life was suitable for his crimes.

When the sentences was passed down one victim exclaimed, "Yes." Others wept. Morales is appealing.
